Some people like maltier English-style IPAs. Some prefer the more resiny and hoppy American-style IPAs. Personally, my favorite is the West Coast IPA.
To each their own, right?
The other day I opened up what I will refer to as an “old” IPA. It had lost most of its, once very pronounced, Pacific Northwest hop aroma and [...]
Cooking with beer has become a relatively new obsession of mine. As much as I hate “wasting” beer experimenting with recipes, when I stumble upon something “successful” it can be worth it.
My rule of thumb (as with most chefs), is that any recipe that calls for water is an easy opportunity to add more flavor. [...]
Where were we? Ah yes, I last left off on Wednesday.
Thursday — February 11th
1. OYSTER FEST — Magnolia Brewpub — San Francisco, CA
About The Event: Magnolia’s menu featured 5-6 west coast varieties of freshly shucked oysters plus oysters prepared in other various ways including: marinated, BBQ’d, Rockefeller, in chowder and a Hangtown Fry, frisee salad [...]
My sincere apologies to my fellow HopPress writers and my editor, Mario Rubio, for neglecting my HopPress column. There are reasons, but this is not the time or forum to discuss them.
But the good news is that I’m back.
Last week I had the opportunity to partake in 7 of the 10 days of San Francisco [...]
Unfortunately, it took me entirely way to long to post about San Francisco Beer Week. And it is almost over. My bad.
Curious about where I will be today? I’ve listed the events that I will most likely be attending (99.9% certain) on February 11th. Hopefully, I will run into some of you (my readers) out [...]
True Story: The Beer Wench has an intense fascination, preoccupation … and obsession with wild yeast beers. The gueze, in particular, is my all time favorite style of beer.
Two years ago, I would have been celebrating New Years with Champagne. But that was before I discovered “The Gueuze” during a fateful visit to Chicago in May [...]
Mussels are hands down one of my favorite things to eat.
Humans have used mussels as food for thousands of years.
Mussels are particularly popular in Belgium, the Netherlands and France – where they are consumed with french fries (”mosselen met friet” or “moules frites”) or bread.
Depending on the source, mussel season is either considered to be any month ending [...]
This week, I decided to write a fun little article about my fellow Hop Press featured publishers so that our readers can get to know us all better.
The question I posed to the Hop Press team was: If you were a style of beer, what style would you be and why?
Allow me to present my Hop [...]
My friend and fellow HOP PRESS featured publisher, Josh Christie has inspired me to write a post about my most influential books. His blog “Brews and Books” has been very inspirational to me as both as beer geek and book nerd. I’m very honored to be a co-publisher with Josh for Hop Press. Cheers Josh!!
As [...]
Recently, I had the opportunity to attend the Great Lakes Craft Brewers & Water Conservation Conference, where I had the honor of presenting a powerpoint on water conservation in brewpub kitchens. The conference was organized by Lucy Saunders, craft beer industry guru and author of “Cooking With Beer.”
This was the first independent conference designed to [...]
